Pymouss

Welcome to Wikidata, Pymouss!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Wikimedia roll descriptions

Salut Pymouss, your assignment of string "Wikimedia roll" as description on over 23 000 items from this one to this one (in br language) does not follow the guidelines. Was it made on purpose? -- LaddΩ chat ;) 13:15, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Salut Laddo,

On est tous francophones, parlons français ;)

Mea culpa, j'étais en atelier Wikidata avec Pymouss quand il a suggéré de de faire ces modifications et cela m'a semblé une bonne idée. Sans être d'une utilité flagrante, je ne vois pas ce qui est contraire à Help:Description/fr. Pourrais-tu préciser ce qui ne va pas ?

Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

@VIGNERON: Bonjour à vous deux, mes excuses je me suis un peu emballé en voyant cocktail et international E-road network/route européenne réduits (pour le breton) à une description de "liste" sans grande signification. Cependant je concède que ce genre de description a été beaucoup appliqué un peu partout, hélas! Mais pour le cas des listes, j'ai plusieurs objections aux descriptions génériques: souvent ces items sans description ont de bonnes descriptions de sous-classes P289 (e.g. "breuvage alcoolisé") que le presque-gadget AutoDesc exploite à fond pour créer à la volée de très bonnes descriptions. En imposant cette description générique, vous empêchez cet outil (ou d'autres du même type) de fournir des descriptions mieux ciblées et plus efficaces. AMHA je pense que la modif systématique de Pymouss était inadéquate, mais je comprend que vous pensiez autrement. -- LaddΩ chat ;) 23:29, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Pas de problème, au contraire. Et effectivement quand je vois cocktail (Q134768) et international E-road network (Q106123), je me dis qu'il y a quelque chose de bizarre, je ne vois pas trop si instance of (P31) = Wikimedia list article (Q13406463) devrait être conservé ou retiré et sinon, est-ce que subclass of (P279) n'est pas en doublon par rapport à is a list of (P360) ; en tout cas, clairement dans ces deux cas-là la description « liste d'un projet Wikimedia » ne convient pas vraiment (quelque soit la langue). Au passage, c'est aussi un peu le bazar entre cocktail (Q134768) et mixed drink (Q3246609)...

Du coup, pour revenir aux éléments sans descriptions, qu'en penses-tu : il me semble que le mieux est que de se concentrer sur les éléments qui ne contiennent que instance of (P31) = Wikimedia list article (Q13406463) et aucun autre P31 ou P279, cela t'irait ?

Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 06:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

@VIGNERON: Difficile de généraliser, mais ce serait déjà moins risqué de laisser de côté ceux qui n'ont ni P31 ni P279 en effet. Dans ces cas, savoir que c'est une liste est mieux que rien, bien que si on creusait un peu on pourrait sans doute identifier un P279 applicable à plusieurs des items de liste. Depuis très longtemps, il y a débat sur les articles qui sont à la fois descriptifs et listes dans certaines langues, alors que dans d'autres langues on a deux articles distincts. Les items se retrouvent avec un duo P31=liste et P279. L'idéal serait de consacrer P31=liste aux listes pures (fr:Liste des cocktails par type d'alcool) et assigner juste P279 aux items mixte comme fr:Ministre de la Jeunesse (Écosse). Mais bon, à l'impossible, nul n'est tenu ;) -- LaddΩ chat ;) 13:45, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Modif étrange sur Q23296926

Salut,

Tu as fait plusieurs modifications sur Q23296926 indiquant que cette rue a disparue et a été remplacée par la Q23297110. C'est très étrange car si je regarde sur une carte (au hasard OpenStreetMap) je vois bien encore cette rue... Ceci dit, l'ancien nom de la rue des Trente était bien rue de Gaillon comme l'indique par exemple s:fr:Notices sur les rues de Rennes 1883 ou la base Gertrude. J'imagine qu'il y a eu confusion, non ?

Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 13:25, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Idem pour Q23296970 (du coup, cela génère deux violtions de contraintes sur Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P3182 ce qui est logique puisque FANTOIR code (P3182) ne concerne que des lieux actuels). Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 11:06, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Petite peur et coup de pied dans le cul

Je vais t'avouer que j'ai eu une petite peur quand j'ai vu que tu commençais à ajouter des Federal Heritage Building (Q3579115) à Montréal, j’étais déjà rendu dans les 150 lignes dans le CSV pour complété ceux du Québec. Bon ça m'a donné le coup de pied dans le cul pour terminer mon CSV à envoyer sur Quickstatement. Fait que j'ai fini le patrimoine culturel au Québec. :) --Fralambert (talk) 21:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

• Fralambert C'est en voulant partager mes photos montréalaises de cet été que je me suis rendu compte que la Liste des lieux patrimoniaux de Montréal comportait plus de lieux que la carte de Monumental basée sur Wikidata. J'ai créé grossièrement les 14 éléments manquants en me disant que je repasserai plus tard pour affiner. Et tu as été plus rapide que moi ;) Pymouss (talk) 22:04, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

  C'est certain que d'être rendu à 150 sur une liste de 182 éléments à créer, ça a aidé. --Fralambert (talk) 23:31, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Removed claim: Grand Paris is located in Paris.

(from Wikipedia)The Métropole du Grand Paris: The métropole came into existence on January 1, 2016 and includes the City of Paris, all 123 communes in the surrounding inner-suburban departments (Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne) that were part of the pre-1968 Seine department, plus seven communes in two of the outer-suburban departments, including the communes of Argenteuil in Val-d'Oise, and Paray-Vieille-Poste in Essonne, the latter of which covers part of Orly airport.

The claim that it contains Paris is the correct one.

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Captions in January

The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Intercommunalité

Bonjour,

Je vous contacte sur les bons conseils de User:VIGNERON. Je crois comprendre que vous avez ajouté beaucoup d'informations sur les intercommunalités en France, notamment suite aux fusions de 2017. Je m'intéresse actuellement à l'ajout des élus locaux sur Wikidata : j'ai récemment créé des éléments pour tous les maires de France et j'envisage de les compléter en indiquant leur mandat communautaire (quand ils en ont un).

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

• Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
• Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Austrian embassy in the Czech republic

Hello Pymouss!

This is item: Embassy of Austria, Prague (Q67919211) = or <> Embassy of Austria, Prague (Q24706394)?

Thanks, bye! Palotabarát (talk) 13:31, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

@Palotabarát: It's clearly the same thing. I merged the two items. Pymouss (talk) 13:51, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much. It's worth a look here: Wikidata:Wikivoyage/Lists/Embassies

alvaro pirez

coucou pymouss ! peux-tu m'aider sur alvaro pirez - voir l'historique ! je sais pas comment indiquer que ses dates de naissance et de mort sont inconnues et que seule est documentée une partie de son activité entre 1411 et 1434 - voir l'article en français ! merci ! bonne année ici aussi ! Mandariine (talk) 09:06, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Coucou Mandariine !

Le temps de lire ton message et je constate que Eric-92 a fait ce que j'aurais fait : utiliser work period (start) (P2031) et work period (end) (P2032) pour indiquer la période d'activité. Bizous. Pymouss (talk) 17:52, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

coucou pymouss ! mais vois la question que j'ai posée à eric : il ne s'agit pas véritablement du début et de la fin de l'activité d'alvaro pirez mais de sa seule période d'activité documentée ! s'il n'existe pas de propriété plus précise on va laisser comme ça mais c'est pas tout à fait exact ! en tout cas merci de votre réponse à tous les deux !

Structured data across Wikimedia is starting!

Hello there, Pymouss! Hope to find you well. :)

I am writing to you because a new WMF project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW), is about to start. SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet.

The reason why I am contacting you is because of your work across the Wikimedia projects, and your opinion would be of great interest for us to kickstart the discussion. We defined a series of questions we would like to have feedback on. If you want to ask a question on your own, or just want to share with us your ideas or opinions, please feel free to do so!

Also, if you know some other user(s) that can be interested, please let me know or invite them to join the discussion. The more, the better!

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk) 15:05, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
